Whose Line Is It Anyway - #11

This post I will start with the pic. Attached pic is a browser screen shot of the front page of the blog maintained by my son's preschool teacher. She has a neat blog for her class and updates with events, photos/videos and has a nice discussion board as well. Lately she has been having a "Featured Child" of the week and puts nice info about each of her students. This week its Sanjay's turn. Hence the pic. You can see some of his favorites etc beneath his photo there.

For today's post,

• My wife as usual goes to great lengths and takes great pain in teaching this kid everything - from words, numbers, songs, spelling etc etc. you name it.. She had already taught him to write and identify numbers upto 100. Now looks like she wanted to find out if he is able to apply the concept of numbering and figure out new numbers by himself. She asked "Do you know how to write 200, 300 etc". An emphatic "yes, I do" really stunned her as she has never attempted to go past 100 with him. When she asked him to write 200 and 300 on a paper, the eager mind obliged with this "2..100 ....3..100". He wrote 2 and a hundred as he heard it. What can you say.
• One day my mom was washing vegetables in the kitchen sink before cooking. The young one who was roaming around there got curious and looked at grandma washing the veggies. He came back to us quizzically - "Are the vegetables taking bath ?"
• A typical trait of people from India is to hang a small figurine of their favorite God (mostly hindus do this) hanging inside their car, preferably from the rear view mirror or have a sticker stuck somewhere in the dashboard etc. We have a small figurine of Lord Ganesh hanging from our rear view mirror. The figurine is a bit cartoonish. One day, I was driving my kid to the temple. Suddenly he asked me "Do we have a God in our car ?". I said "Of course, right here we have Lord Ganesh" and pointed to the cartoonish figurine. He is used to seeing a huge idol of Lord Ganesh at temple. Hence, with a quizzical tone he asked "A Toy God ??". I said yes. After a while, he retorted "Does it work ?". He was not sure how come a toy god function the same way as the real big one. But then the simple question of "does it work" sounded very profound to me which lot of us are trying to get answered and I had to say "I dont know. I am still trying to figure out".
